Effective October 1, Mr. Foster will serve a one-year term with 17 other board members from the channel community.

Since joining MegaPath in 2000, Mr. Foster has been responsible for leading the sales and marketing efforts of the company.

MegaPath ensures that its partners share a dedication to customer satisfaction, delivering not only the technology, but the services and support that customers require.

“Over the last year, we listened to our partners and worked to develop a channel program that provides value-added services and tools that ensure their success, and ultimately benefit their customers,” said Foster. “I’m looking forward to working alongside my peers to serve as a sounding board for editorial and seminar content for the magazine and conferences that will help to deliver information that is topical and relevant to the channel community. I’m truly honored to have been selected to serve on the PHONE+/Channel Partners Conference & Expo Advisory Board.”

The PHONE+/Channel Partners Conference & Expo Advisory Board is comprised of independent agents, subagents, master agents, VARs, dealers/interconnects, hardware/software vendors, resellers and carriers. In addition, there are four association members representing the Technology Channel Association, the Agent Alliance, TAG National and the Wireless Business Owners Consortium.

“Since it was formed in 2007, the PHONE+/Channel Partners Conference & Expo Advisory Board has proved to be a vital part of the success of the publication and the event. We rely on these industry insiders to help make sure our content is on target and that our programs are meaningful to the communications channel,” said Khali Henderson, group editor, PHONE+. “We welcome MegaPath’s Dan Foster to the Advisory Board, and thank him for volunteering both his time and expertise.”

As a board member, Dan Foster will become a regular contributor to the PHONE+ Peer-to-Peer blog and also the Channel Partners Network online community at LinkedIn.
